Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement


What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why? I am most proud of how I decorated the classroom for my presentation. I heard Juniors talking about the centerpieces and decorations afterwards and I'm glad they they were appreciated. I am also proud of the fact that I've successfully completed my project, even though I had a setback 5 months into the school year.

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?

AP  

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

AP 

(3) What worked for you in your senior project? I greatly appreciate the help I received from not only my fellow classmates, but also Mrs. Pittman. Even though I struggled a lot, my classmates were always very supportive of my situation and Mrs. Pittman was always ready to assist me.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time? I would have picked a better topic since the beginning of the year, so then I could have used the nine months more wisely. 

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples. I have gained really good hands on experience in retail and customer service from both my mentorship and my Independent Component #2. I know that I can refer to my mentors as references when I apply for future jobs. Also, passing senior project has shown me that from here on, I can do anything. To me, I have completed the impossible, so now anything in comparison is possible.

Mentorship

Interpretive
   I have gained good work experience. I have learned how to work with customers and maintain the business, cleaning, stocking, inventory, and keeping organization of orders. I am now able to put quality references on my resume when I apply for future jobs. 

Applied
        My mentorship was an applied example of essential question. I was able to witness and participate in how an small business worked, run by a women artisan entrepreneur. I saw the traits of fair trade which is a component of my first answer: The best way for a fashion corporation to help artisan women in India become micro-entrepreneurs is by creating access to well-paying, stable jobs.
